Plain-English summary
Fresenius Medical Care Renal Therapies Group, LLC is recalling the Fresenius 2008T Series Hemodialysis System. The recall involves 65,361 units in the United States and 249 units in foreign countries, including Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Germany, and Guam. The affected units include all serial numbers.
The recall is due to a software defect where adjusting the Ultrafiltration (UF) Rate, Goal, or Time using the up and down arrow keys and then cancelling the change with the 'esc' key results in the machine executing the cancelled UF Rate rather than the rate displayed on the screen. This discrepancy could lead to unintended fluid removal during dialysis treatment.
Healthcare facilities and patients using these systems should contact Fresenius Medical Care for instructions on how to address the software issue. The company is working to resolve the defect to ensure the machine executes the intended settings.
